Joe Joyce vs Filip Hrgovic prediction

Joe Joyce promised to be the next big thing in boxing when he stopped Joseph Parker and Daniel Dubois. However, his progress in the heavyweight division has since stalled. Joyce was finished by Zhilei Zhang twice and dropped a decision to Derek Chisora.

Hrgovic, meanwhile, was beaten by Daniel Dubois in his last outing. The contest was stopped by the ringside doctors.

Both Joyce and Hrgovic are heavy hitters, but Joyce's chin has become questionable. He was also knocked down by Chisora. Hrgovic's power might turn out to be too much to handle forJoyce, so the Croatian is the pick to win by knockout.

Winner: Filip Hrgovic
